[hider=Chimere Raphela]
Throughout history, the archetype of a hero is one of the most enduring and prominent. The upholder of justice, the defender of the weak. Shining examples of all the positive and joyful things of humanity. But throughout history, if you look at elite military forces, so many associate themselves with the skull, death, mystery, and shadows. The skull may well be the most repeated graffiti on military paraphernalia throughout history.

Sometimes, one draws on the strength of one’s closeness to death and darkness rather than one’s the joys of life and light. On the battlefield, Chimere Rapthela feels one seems so much closer at hand than the other. The ugly skull masked anonymity of death is sometimes as charismatic as a beautiful goddess’ face.

Name: Chimere Raphela
Military codename:
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Appearance: Chimere has the build of a lean, scavenging hunter, and her body language speaks of that as well. Her skin tone is a mulatto tone, and the fact that she self-identifies with that term tells you she’s not from America where such a term is an insult. Her dark hair is military cut and her eyes are a withdrawn brown. She has scarring on her neck and lower left cheek that looks fairly like something tried to maul her face off.
Personality: Chimere is civil, but withdrawn. She’ll behave herself, but you can tell at a glance she doesn't respect or trust anyone. Her civility is that of someone who feels if they make the first aggressive move, they will be pounced on by everyone else. A social dynamic built in environments where the weak band together to kill the strong. Of course, this is not that environment, and she’s currently very very confused about why everyone here is so happy and not waiting to kill her if she shows too much weakness or strength. The fact that she can just ask for water and she gets it and it’s no big deal is simply mindblowing to her. Likely going to be some culture shock moments approaching. School will likely be a harrowing new experience for her, more terrorizing than the battlefield. 
Biography: Brought into the program from a refugee camp, fleeing from the frontlines of the demonic conflicts, Chimere’s past is likely a tragedy that will forever be off the history books, given how likely Chimere is to talk about it. It's likely where her personal abilities developed and how she stayed alive. Her magical abilities are instinctual and difficult to controllable, likely helping her survive. Of another note is that she has involves almost no schooling, so she will certainly be very lost and need help.

Magic: Somatic. So, you're probably wondering about that armor. Chimere has a complete lack of ranged, defensive, or stealth spells and initial testing proved she was useless at learning them. In a battlefield dominated by giant mechs and guns... This is baaaaad. Enough strength to cut through MECH armor does not help you if the shockwave and shrapnel from a shot landing five meters away blows your arm off and puncture your lungs. Fortunately, if there's anything Chimere does have, it's excessive raw force. Chimere's suit is a battlesuit, far smaller than a MECH, more like armor than a vehicle due to needing to facilitate her Somatic casting. It draws on her power, rather than ambient magic, to function, using technological systems to provide the ranged, defensive, and stealth abilities she needs. The raw brutal melee, she provides herself, fully capable of punching through weak points or joints in a MECH's armor. Chimere's battlesuit is equipped with so many weapons (six full sized blades, four combat knives, and two handguns) because the unstable output of her magic frequently exceeds the strength of her weapons. The primary downside of this suit is that extended operations exhaust Chimere, requiring other mechanized transport too and from battle. However, in return, the suit provides her a staunch defense, a cloaking device, magnetic boots, and an absorption field that slows other devices from absorbing her magic.


Extra: Steel Salvation, also, I'm aware the bio might be a little too special snowflakey. Tell me if it needs to be toned down a bit.[/hider]
